Dema Whatta?

The Dems: Prowar, procorporation, antiunion, antiworker [they will throw a bone], american exceptionalism, and a foreign policy based on american exceptionalism and imperialism. Although the rhetoric will be nicer and the pretense of cooperation will be there, basically they are less arrogant republicans.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Commitee Chair Rahm Emanuel may gloat all he wants to over this "win," but Burlingtonians, Vermonters, and Americans who voted for the Dems have just not woken up: Emanuel, Dean, and the rest of the "progressive" DLC are republican-lite.

Amen! This is not my Democratic party. I believe the Dems won because they were the only option to limit Bush. As one commentator said last night, "Like it or not, this is still a socially conservative country." Yeah, well. Not for all of us.

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was." - Molly Ivins 1944-2007

THIS IS ME...

... I blog from BURLINGTON, VERMONT. I'm a hustler about civic engagement & social action and I'll make publicity against a world that degrades and shames whatever way I can. Joy!
